The entire brain is used to varying extents during both awake and sleeping states.
The common misconception that we only use a proportion (10% or so) is perfectly absurd. Where the confusion arose was out of a statement concerning the potential for mental capacity - not how much of the brain is used to generate this ability.
One only needs to remember two concepts to appreciate this: 1) that neurons and glial cells in the brain are metabolically very expensive to run, and like everything else in Biology are subjected to the 'use it or lose it' axiom; 2) it is not presently clear exactly how mental capacity or intelligence relates to brain function.

Can a human use their full brain capacity?
Humans DO use their full brain capacity. Scientists can detect and record activity in every area of the brain. But our conscious brain only uses 10%... the rest of the brain takes care of internal functions though the subconscious brain.
